DALLAS — Signs of brewing trouble stain the academic history of the young man who would go on to kill 19 children and two teachers in Texas’ deadliest school shooting.
State education officials are conducting a reverse “behavioral threat assessment” for the 18-year-old who carried out the Uvalde massacre, Commissioner Mike Morath told lawmakers this week. They want to identify what school officials knew about the student’s troubles — and when.
“We have begun a review process of every aspect of the student’s educational history,” Morath said. The Texas Education Agency will provide “all of the information, sort of lessons learned, in order to improve the ability to train school systems around the state on recognizing and intervening.”
